With Italy facing Belgium tonight in their opening fixture of group E at EURO 2016, there are many interesting sub plots running alongside looking for answers.

Can the Belgian's transform all the hype around them into a performance of champions? Will the Italians banish the poor performance of the 2014 World Cup and re-establish themselves as tournament experts? And, a key one for Chelsea fans, how is Antonio Conte going to set up his team?

The Italian national boss will be on his way to Stamford Bridge after the tournament this summer and Blues fans are eager to see as much as possible of their incoming boss. The former Juventus boss will surely ring the changes when he arrives in west London and he might just bring some of his players with him.

There could be a number of stars on show tonight that will be at Stamford Bridge come August and we at Football Fan Cast think this FIVE could follow in the footsteps of their national team boss.

Leonardo Bonucci

Bonucci knows Conte not just from the Italian set up but also from their days at Juventus. Bonucci is a no-nonsense defender and the Express thinks a deal could be on to bring him to the club. How Conte sets up his side at Stamford Bridge is one of the most talked about subjects surrounding his appointment at the club and if he managed to bring in Bonucci this transition would become much easier.

Giorgio Chiellini

Another of Conte's former Juventus stars, Giorgio Chiellini, is now the main man at the back for both club and country. It's rumoured the Blues are keen on signing the centre half and with a defence that looked frail at times last year he'd be a more than capable addition. Like Bonucci, he'd help translate Conte's tactics onto the pitch and go on to form one of the tightest back lines in the Premier League.

Alessandro Florenzi

Florenzi may be relatively small in stature at 1.73 metres but he more than compensates with his talent in midfield. Another Blues target reported by TransferMarketWeb, the Roma man has been tasked with becoming the midfield general at the club - following in the footsteps of Daniele de Rossi and has done so with aplomb, combining with Radja Nainggolan to good effect. Florenzi has seven goals and four assists to his name in last season's Serie A and would be a really good addition to Chelsea's midfield.

Stephan El Shaarawy

The Milan man can play down either wing or off the main striker and will be key to any chance Italy have of winning EURO 2016. He's been linked to Chelsea in the past and whilst on loan at Roma last season, El Shaarawy excelled playing in the Italian capital with eight goals and two assists in 16 appearances. If Conte can attract him to Chelsea over the possibility of staying with Roma or indeed Milan the Blues will have secured a very promising player.

Simone Zaza

According to The Express, the Juventus forward is on Conte's shopping list. The former Sassuolo man only made 19 appearances in Serie A for the Turin side last season but still managed five goals and an assist, suggesting he can hit the back of the net regularly with more game-time. Zaza is primarily a centre-forward and would offer some decent competition to Diego Costa for a starting berth up top.
